What Do Green Lawn Care Services Include?

Regular Organic Lawn Maintenance

Just like any lawn, an organic lawn requires care and regular maintenance. Organic maintenance usually falls into two categories – regular lawn maintenance and seasonal lawn maintenance.

Regular green lawn care maintenance includes routine weekly procedures like mowing, watering and weed removal. An organic lawn is typically mowed at a higher height – about three inches – which leaves larger grass-blades to perform photosynthesis, feeding the roots and shading the soil. It’s watered deeply and less frequently to encourage deep root growth for nutrients. Fertilizing often includes leaving grass clippings on the lawn, a natural way to provide nutrients to the soil.

The Optimum Organic Fertilization Program Includes:

The Optimum Organic Program provides a balanced diet of NPk + 9 nutrients that promote strong, healthy root growth and improve the overall condition of your soil.

• Five organic fertilization applications during the season (Apr-Nov)
  • Spring – Late Spring – Summer – Fall – Late Fall
• Pre-Emergent Crabgrass Control – early or mid-Spring
• Broadleaf & Creeping Weed Control – as needed

The Optimum Organic Program includes the Basic Turf Program plus the following:

• Natural Aeration – Done twice each season, it improves the soil and puts essential oxygen and nutrients into the root zone.

• Root Stimulants and Developers – Applied periodically during season, they promote strong, deep roots for protection from drought, insects and disease.
